Bedfont is a district within the London Borough of Hounslow in West London. It’s 21 km west-southwest of Charing Cross and 2 miles from Heathrow Airport. It consists of the area that is informally called North Feltham and also the neighbourhood of Hatton. Bedfont is referenced in the Domesday Book as ‘Bedefunde’, which is believed to derive from the Anglo-Saxon word ‘Bedfunta’, which means ‘bed’s spring’. It states that the manors of Bedfont, Hatton and Stanmore had been all held by William Fitz Other. Before Heathrow’s Terminal 5 was constructed, just a few miles north of Bedfont, archaeologists discovered Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman artefacts, suggesting that people had been living in and around Bedfont over these periods. The populace of Bedfont stood at 12,701 at the 2011 census. The number of inhabitants started to increase when Heathrow Airport was opened in 1946. This caused increasing demand for neighbourhood housing, specifically as the village of Heathrow was lost and also part of the Hamlet of Hatton. Bedfont has two surviving manor houses: Pates Manor, once owned by the Page family, and Fawns Manor. Pates Manor is behind the Church of St Mary the Virgin and dates from the late fifteenth century. Fawns Manor is around the south side of the Green and dates back to the 16th century, now belonging to the British Airways Housing Association.
